Frost has helped the Gophers to back-to-back national championships in 2004 and 2005. From 2001 to 2004, Frost primarily coached the forwards for three and a half years, including U.S. Olympians Natalie Darwitz, Kelly Stephens and Krissy Wendell. In the 2004-05 campaign, Frost held recruiting responsibilities as well as becoming the defensemen coach, a role he currently has held for the past two seasons. Along with overseeing the blue liners, Frost coached the Gopher special teams in the power-play and penalty kill units. In 2005, Frost led the power-play unit to an impressive 31.0 conversion percentage in their national championship season. After losing four Olympians in the 2005-06 season, Frost helped the Gophers to a second-place finish in both the WCHA regular and tournament championships with a 19-8-1 record. The Gophers went on to finish second at the NCAA Championships after defeating No. 1 New Hampshire in the national semifinal game on March 24 in Mariucci Arena. Following the 2005-06 season and their fifth run at the NCAA Championship, Frost was promoted to associate head coach in May of 2006. Along with his collegiate experience, Frost has coached at the national level when he coached at the 2003 girls' select 14/15 camp in Rochester, N.Y.
"I am honored to be considered for this position within the USA Hockey organization," Frost said. "I look forward to the opportunity and will do my best to represent the University of Minnesota and the United States in a first class manner."
